Hi, I am indeed having this problem with the GENERIC kernel that is included with the 20020818 -current snapshot. Here is some more information: - instead of booting the GENERIC kernel that gets installed with 20020818, if I boot with the kernel from the floppy disk that comes with 20020818, and then from the command-prompt specify the root filesystem as ufs:ad0s2a (which is where I installed -current), then the system boots up fine, and I have no problem with ep0, and in fact I can use ep0 successfully. So, there is something different between the GENERIC kernel and the kernel on the bootdisk in 20020818. Any idea what it could be?
